Chapter 402 Mandrake (ask for monthly ticket at the beginning of the month) The tall and thin figure reacted at the same time as he was frightened. He bounced his knees and pounced on Lumian so fast that it seemed as if he could leave an afterimage. He stretched out his right hand, which did not hold the strange weeds, and found that his nails had grown an extra section, covered with mysterious symbols and patterns, and looked hard and sharp. The darkness around Lumian seemed to come alive, gathering into dark chains that tried to wrap around him and confine him to the spot. Lumian stared at the rapidly approaching figure without any fluctuation in his eyes, and snorted softly. Two white rays of light suddenly flew out from his nose and landed on the target, who had no time to dodge. The tall and thin figure suddenly fainted and fell to the ground with a thud. The illusory chain condensed by darkness collapsed. “Instead of running away, he thought about attacking.” Lumian, with a new face, smiled and shook his head.
He used the "Spirit World Shuttle" to teleport over directly, just to prevent the target from noticing the abnormality and danger in advance. When the distance between them was only two or three meters, the opponent could not avoid the "Hum Ha Technique" whether he escaped or counterattacked. The worst result would be that both sides would suffer losses. Therefore, Lumian still had time to say "hello". If the other party was willing to cooperate and answer well, he would not have to fight. This is just like a sentence that appears frequently in the "Curly-haired Baboon Research Society": Make people obey with good morals! Lumian observed carefully for a few seconds and confirmed that the tall and thin figure was indeed unconscious. He squatted down and examined the strange weeds with blood-red roots and found that apart from their extraordinary plant spirituality, there was nothing special about them. Lumian thought about it, then lifted up the tall and thin figure and shook it vigorously several times. When the other party was about to wake up, he loosened his hand and took a few steps back. With the help of the previous battle, he preliminarily confirmed that the other party was a mid-sequence extraordinary person on the "Pharmacist" pathway. According to Aurore's witchcraft notes, Sequence 7 of this pathway was called "vampire", which meant that every human who took the corresponding potion to advance would eventually become another race, and their life form would change. Aurore had a pretty good idea of the rough status and general abilities of the "vampires" because the "Curly-Haired Baboon Research Society" had two so-called vampires, including the member of the "Academy" group code-named "Principal." That's why Lumian could tell that the target was a "vampire" from his reaction, speed, the sharp nails that suddenly grew out, and the spell-like abilities that were like dark shackles. Since there is no "psychologist" and no similar items, the two parties are not enemies in the true sense. We should try to communicate in a friendly manner. As soon as the tall and thin figure woke up, he jumped up immediately and looked around warily. He saw a blond young man standing beside the gallows, dressed neatly and with a smile on his face. He subconsciously wanted to attack again, but changed his mind and forced himself to endure it. The other party clearly controlled himself easily. He could kill him if he wanted to, or sell him if he wanted to. But he did nothing and instead woke himself up! This firstly shows that he has no ill intentions for the time being, and secondly, it shows that he has enough confidence in his own strength and is not afraid of resistance or escape at all. The tall and thin figure recalled the other party's sudden appearance and the unusually magical white light, and felt that even if the baron or even the viscount in the family took action, he would not be defeated so quickly and without any resistance. Considering that he had no idea what abilities the two white lights were or which paths they belonged to, he suspected that the sequence of the person in front of him might be beyond his expectations! "What do you want to do?" asked the tall and thin figure in a deep voice. Lumian was ready to use the "Hum Ha Technique" at any time, but he looked relaxed: "Are you a vampire?"
"Blood clan." The tall and thin figure emphasized. Lumian looked up at the red moon in the sky and asked with a smile: "Which family is it from?" Although he had no idea how many big families the vampires were divided into or what famous surnames there were, this did not prevent him from acting like an old monster who had lived for many years and seen enough. He sensed the other person's fear from the tall and thin figure's eyes, movements and tone, so he acted out the scene. As for the objects of imitation, he had no shortage of them. One of them was undoubtedly Amon, an old monster who had actually lived for many years. "I'm from the Bruch family." The tall and thin figure did not hide his pride, "My name is Lano Bruch." What the hell family? I've never heard of it... Lumian nodded slightly and said: "From the Bruch family." He glanced at the strange weed in Lano's hand: "what is this?" "It's Mandrake." Lano felt that this powerful Beyonder would definitely look down on plants that could only be called spiritual materials, so he answered truthfully. Don't just answer one question at a time. Be more proactive and explain clearly what your purpose is and why you came to dig. How can I maintain my image if you do this? Lumian complained in his heart, while his thoughts raced: "You came here specially to get it, because this herb has some unusual effect on you?" Lano hesitated for two seconds, but finally succumbed to his fear: "Yes, the potion made from it helps me get through the spiritual surge during the full moon." The spiritual surge state...Lumian remembered a passage from Aurore's witchcraft notebook: The "president" of the "college" had sought in vain at the "Curly-haired Baboon Research Society" a solution to the spiritual surge during the full moon. According to the description of that vampire, a few years ago, after the ancestor of this ancient race woke up and took back power from the "Goddess of Night", the conditions of all members of the entire vampire clan became unstable during the full moon. This is not like the alien species would go crazy and lose their mind because of this, but rather a kind of improvement. However, the sudden increase in spirituality, like a rising tide, still puts a huge burden on the bodies of vampires. Some members even suffer hallucinations or encounter unnecessary dangers because their inspiration is temporarily increased too much. Lumian looked at Lano and said: "Mandra can suppress the spiritual surge during a full moon? "It seems that the few vampires I know don't know about this." Even the entire Curly-haired Baboon Research Society doesn’t know! Lano did not hide his pride: "I should be the first to discover that mandrake is a plant that grows beneath the bodies of hanged people. It comes from some kind of divine power of the earth." Spiritual plants from the Earth Realm? Lumian asked thoughtfully: "How did you find out?" Seeing that such a powerful Beyonder didn't know the origin and use of Mandrake, Lano smiled: "It was originally a rumor that the plants under the bodies of hanged people can cure many diseases. You know, every vampire is a 'pharmacist'. Although I don't believe the rumor, I thought I could give it a try, so I got some mandrake to mix a potion, and found that it can effectively suppress spiritual fluctuations." Rumors... Another rumor? Lumian controlled himself and didn't frown: "Do you know where that rumor came from?" "I don't know." Lano shook his head. "In Trier, there are many rumors. For example, in recent months, I was worried that the ignorant citizens' blind collection would destroy the growth of mandrakes, but new rumors appeared. They began to chase after human blood bread." It is really difficult to find the source of rumors in Trier... Lumian sighed helplessly in his heart and asked: "Why did you bring the blood-stained dirt to the gallows?" Lano showed off his research results: "I found that the mandrakes growing under the bodies of hanged people are the most effective, but hanged people are not often found. Using the blood of other death row prisoners to water the mandrakes can also make them grow. Although the effect is not that good, it is enough to use." Lumian nodded slowly, and thought of another question: "Who named the Mandrake? Wasn't it originally a rumor?" When talking about his "professionalism", Lano said:
"This is a plant that was named a long time ago, but no one has discovered that it has medicinal value. It is only used as a spiritual material and as a medium for certain spells..." At this point, Lano was suddenly stunned: "Why didn't my ancestors, those great 'pharmacists', try to make potions with mandrake? They were not limited to the knowledge that came with potions, but would find materials based on the principles and develop more potions... “Maybe they tried, but there was no spiritual upsurge then?” Could it be that the spiritual surge brought by the full moon gave the mandrake some kind of magical power? Lumian was not a "pharmacist" or a mystic, so he could not draw a valid conclusion and could only make some guesses based on Lano's soliloquy. He changed the subject: "Why don't you report the effects of the mandrake to your elders? It is of great value to the entire vampire race." Lano stammered: "There are still some problems with the potion I prepared. I don't know if it's because the toxicity of the mandrake itself cannot be truly neutralized. I plan to confirm this before reporting it to my superiors. Only in this way can I undoubtedly get the opportunity to become a baron." "What's the problem?" Lumian asked half out of curiosity and half on behalf of the "Principal" of the "Curly-Haired Baboon Research Society". Lano combed her black medium-length hair and said with confusion and worry: “Every time I drank a different potion made from mandrake, it was like I had eaten poisonous mushrooms. I would see a lot of flowers blooming on the ground, many little people dancing inside, and mushrooms growing all over my body. “Each time the hallucinations occur they are somewhat different, but there are often repetitive elements.” Is it possible that your preemptive action in entering the hallucination prevented the spiritual surge from causing side effects, so you think the mandrake can suppress this phenomenon? Lumian muttered silently. He didn't ask any more questions and directly activated the "Spirit World Travel" and disappeared in front of Lano. A Sequence 5 "Traveler" or something similar? Lano breathed a sigh of relief, and roughly guessed why the other party was able to appear beside him before he could react. With the strange white light, such a character can definitely be considered powerful below the demigod level!
